I Think I Have A Solution For A World War Matchmaking

[StarTrekAlliance]

Not following the logic honestly. Separating into ‘ranked’ and ‘unranked’ would not resolve any matchmaking issues. Not allowing Iron Age into WW will not work either, as the next higher age, by default, will become the new sandbag age. There is the idea of a ‘Pass’ or ‘Surrender’ option - if feasible - with a 5 minute availability window once a match is found, and if used, a 48 hour cooldown. This would allow Alliances a single mulligan if they were grossly missmatched. An unintended consequence of ‘Pass’ idea is that it may unfairly target strong teams where they are stuck perpetually looking for a match because all teams are ‘Passing’. No easy solutions.

Actually it's about matchmaking, so in order to get better matchmaking (regardless of chances of winning or losing), there has to be a better war league/leaderboard.
As for Surrender button, it's been suggested many times.
Surrender, or Forfeit, or Next Search button, with some cooldown rate.

There's another crazy idea to get rid of sandbagging.
So players can't attack enemy players who are 2 ages below them . They can only attack the same age, 1 age above, and 1 age below .
Goodbye CWA vs GA and perfect score

How would they do that when the accounts are inactive?

McNasty, The process would be to create new Iron age accounts that you control, and can log into etc.
